SPINNING-RING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 19, 1905.

Application filed February Z3, 1-905. Serial No. 246,877.

To ai?, U17/1,0717, it 711.651/ concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES ROBERT COE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ansonia, county of New Haven, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spinning-Rings, of which the following is a specification. My invention relates to spinning-rings.

l-Teretofore, so far as I am aware, it has been customary to provide spinning-rings with a running flange at one end only for the usual traveler.

My improved ring pressed, stamped, or spun up from sheet metal differs from the various forms now in general use in that it is provided with a running fiange at both ends for the traveler. The advantage of this construction is found in the fact that when the flange at one end becomes worn the ring may be reversed in the spinning-frame and the.

traveler mounted upon the other flange without in any wise altering the construction of the spinning-frame as now used with the ordinary form of solid-metal rings, or, in other words, my improved sheet-metal ring may be'substituted for the much more expensive solid-metal ring and without requiring new attaching devices on the spinning-frame.

The accompanying drawings will serve tc illustrate my invention.

Figure l is a perspective view of my improved ring. Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5 are sectional views showing different constructions of spinning-rings formed of two pieces of sheet metal; and Fig. 6 is a sectional view of a spinning-ring formed of three pieces of sheet metal.

Referring to the drawings, the ring consists of a web l, which may be formed as in Figs. 4 and 5, of two thicknesses fof metal, as in Fig. 6, of three thicknesses, and as in Figs. 2 and 3, of four thicknesses. Connected to the web is a top flange 2 and a bottom flange 3. These flanges are disposed at an angle to the web, which is shown located approximately midway of the flanges, but may be otherwise located, if desired.

In the construction shown in Fig. 2 the ring is formed of two parts corresponding in shape, but with the web of one part slightly smaller in diameter than the other. A double web l is first formed for each part, after which the flanges 2 3 are each formed by turning the free edge of one side of the web horizontally outward and the free edge of the other side of the web horizontally inward. The complete ring is then formed by inserting the web of the smaller part within that of the larger part.

In the construction shown in Fig. 3, which is also'formed of two parts, a double web 1 is first formed for each part, after which the iianges 2 3 are formed by turning the free edge of one side of the web horizontally in one direction and then in the other direction, causing it to abut againstthe web, and the free edge of the other side of the web horizontally in one direction and then in the other direction, but leaving a space 4 between its end and the web to receive the end 5 of the web of the opposite part. The complete ring is then formed by inserting one web within the other and forcing the ends 5 of the webs into the spaces 4.

Tn the construction shown in Eig. 4, which is also formed of two parts, a single web l is first formed for each part, then the flanges 2 3 by' turning one edge of each web horizontally in one direction, then in the other direction, then in the first direction, but not sufficiently far to abut against the web, leaving, (as in the construction shown in Fig. 3,) a space 4 to receive the end 5 when the parts are forced together.

In the construction shown in Fig. 5, which is also formed of two parts, a single web l is first formed for each part. The opposite edges of the web are then turned horizontally in one direction-as, for instance, outward-and then horizontally in the other direction-as, for instance, inward-or, in other words, the edges are folded upon themselves to form one-half of the flanges 2 3. The other part is of exactly the same construction, and the complete ring is formed by forcing one web within the other.

Tn the construction shown in lFig. 6, which is formed of three parts, a single web l is first formed for each part. The upper and lower edges of theV central web are then turned horizontally outward at the top and inward at the bottom, then turned inward at the top and outward at the bottom, but not sufficiently far to abut against the web, thus leaving spaces 4, as in Figs. 3 and 4. The parts turned as described form the outer half of the flange 2 and the inner half of the flange 3. The other two webs are turned, the lower edge of the outer outward and inwardly to form the outer half of the iiange 3 and the up- IOO IIO

per edge of the inner inwardly and outward to form the inner half of flange 2, the free edges of these webs being located in the spaces 4 provided between the central web and its half-flanges. These three parts, as in Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5, are pressed together to form a completed ring.

I have described rings formed of two and three pieces of sheet metal all differently shaped and each forming a spinning-ring of substantially the same cross-section. l

I wish it understood that I do not limit myself in any wise to the arrangement of parts which make the complete ring or to the particular shape given such arts provided the ring when finished has su stantially the same cross-section as that shown.

Having thus described my invention', I now claim- 1. A spinning-ring formed of sheet metal, consisting of two identical ,rings arranged concentrically, each having a web portion and a horizontal flange.

2. A spinning-ring formed of sheet metal, consisting of two identical rings arranged concentrically, each having a web and an outwardly and inwardly projecting flange.

3. A spinning-ring formed o sheet metal, consisting of two identical rings arranged concentrically, each having a web with an outwardly and inwardly projecting flange at one end of the web.

4. A spinning-ring formed of sheet metal, consisting of two identical rings arranged concentrically, each having a web formed by bending the metal of the web upon itself, and an outwardly and inwardly projecting iange formed by bending the metal at an angle outwardly and inwardly to the web.

5. A spinning-ring formed of sheet metal, consisting of two identical rings, one located within the other, each having a web portion and an outwardly and inwardly projecting 'flange with the respective flanges located at the to and bottom of the spinning-ring.

6. spinning-ring formed of sheet metal,

consisting of two identical parts, one located I within the other, and each part comprising a vertical web with a horizontal ange projecting without and within the periphery of the web whereby a ring is formed having a concentric groove on its outer and inner surfaces.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
